Score 94/100 · Drink 1979-2029, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Mar 2022
Latour's 1959 Corton Clos de la Vigne Au Saint Grand Cru is drinking beautifully today, wafting from the glass with aromas of red berries, plums, exotic spices, orange rind and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, sensual and melting, with a velvety attack and an ample core of sweet but vibrant fruit, it's broad and expansive, concluding with a long, perfumed finish.
